My daughter and I spent some time in downtown Oklahoma City, this summer. She met friends for a baseball game at the Bricktown Ballpark, home of the Oklahoma City Dodgers, while I got some steps in, walking around outside in the heat. I grabbed these pictures around the stadium as I strolled around enjoying the city. There is history here, of course, but not the kind that I usually follow. With the likes of Johnny Bench, Mickey Mantle, and Whitey Ford, baseball history is well-represented at the park. Perhaps the most intriguing acknowledgement of local history, however, was depicted in the mosaics on the left and right of the ballpark turnstiles. I found many familiar places and people represented in these mosaics, but a person who stops to admire them may wonder at what they show.
